FWIW, most of the grinders that we tested in the WBC machine testing week in Vancouver last January were electronic dosing designs. Most produced grinds with some level of particle aggregates (we don't use the word clumping). Particle aggregates were not necessarily viewed as problematic by the pro community. Four teams of three evaluators per team performed independent evaluations of the grinders. The members of our team used Stockfleths distribution scheme and had no problems with particle aggregates at all. Our evaluation team was more concerned with the results in the cup than the appearance of the grinds out of the chute.

Stockfleths Move?

Hmm, I had missed that one! Yes, it's pretty much what I do.
